Who needs a girlfriend when you have Pokémon?

Asha stared wide-eyed, her face filled with shock. Chimney Mountain was the sealed place of the Earth God.

If that's the case, then it would explain why Chimney Mountain has such a unique topography and environment, and why the recent unusual celestial phenomena are because the Earth God is awakening.

"In short, what we need to do now is to go and explore Chimney Hill..."

Previously, the cable car on Mt. Chimney was damaged, so the only way to get up the mountain was through the bumpy mountain path. However, the path itself was less of a "road" and more of a "beast path" worn out by people and Pokémon over the years.

Essentially, this path is teeming with wild Pokémon, and it is extremely rugged and dangerous to travel along it.

However, that's for ordinary people. Asha had been training in the mountains since she was a child under the guidance of her grandfather, and this mountain road was as familiar to her as her own backyard.

The same applies to Lowe. Although he was not familiar with the terrain of Chimney Mountain, he was confident that climbing it would not be a problem for him.

Therefore, once this point was determined, the next course of action was naturally set.

"Or maybe I should prepare one or two flying Pokémon later, so I don't have to go through all that trouble relying on my own two legs every time..."

Luo Wei couldn't help but complain, but he himself hadn't encountered a flying Pokémon he liked yet, so he didn't have any plans to catch a flying Pokémon at the moment.

When we get back to Lilycove City, there are plenty of wild flying Pokémon living there. We can take our time to choose them; there's no rush.

"Then, let's rest for the night and set off tomorrow..."

After all, it won't make a difference if it's just one more night. The Pokémon have just finished a fight and they all need to rest, so they can just rest for one night and it won't take up much time.

"Hmm, that's fine... Since that's the case, let's try some of Autumn Leaf Town's specialties~"

Autumnleaf Town has two major specialties. One is glass. Because there is a lot of volcanic ash near Autumnleaf Town, volcanic ash should theoretically fertilize the soil. However, as mentioned before, this place is full of fire-type Pokémon, which leads to perennial drought. Even the most fertile soil cannot grow well.

Therefore, the residents here found another way, using volcanic ash as raw material to make glass. After several improvements to the process, the glass products here are famous throughout the Hoenn region, not only handicrafts, but also various furniture made of pure glass.

Not only is it lightweight, but it is also quite sturdy. Unlike ordinary glass, which is fragile and easily broken, it can withstand impacts and high temperatures, making it very popular.

Of course, the local specialty that Asha wanted Rowe and the others to try wasn't these glass products, but another specialty of Autumn Leaf Town: foot bath hot springs...

...As I said before, because there are abundant hot spring resources near Chimney Mountain, many towns around it have their own unique hot springs. Fuyan Town, the hometown of Asa, is a tourist town that specializes in various hot springs.

Because the hot springs in Kamayang Town are so famous, tourists who come specifically for the hot springs usually choose Kamayang Town. As a result, the surrounding towns do not choose to rely on hot springs as their main source of income, but instead adopt a differentiated competitive strategy.

Since the hot springs in Fuyan Town are already well-known and can't compete with the traditional hot springs, we'll focus on alternative hot springs, such as the foot bath hot springs that are most famous in Akiha Town.

If you want to relax and unwind, a hot spring is definitely a good choice...

Luo Wei, intrigued, replied, "Then let's give it a try!"

………………

…………

……

Walking on the gravel path, listening to the crunching sound under my feet, looking up at the tranquil silver moon, feeling the gentle night breeze, my mood relaxed as well.

Following the gravel path, Luo Wei arrived at the end of a hot spring radiating steam. There, Lillie and Aysa had already entered the pool.

Since it's a foot bath hot spring, there's naturally no need for separate pools. Of course, if needed, they also offer separate hot springs that are divided by gender or even by human and Pokémon.

But Luo Wei wasn't so particular. He was just soaking his feet without taking off his clothes, so why bother with different pools? Neither of the girls minded, so if he did… it would just make him seem pretentious…

What's more, Loew is surrounded by a bunch of female Pokémon. If they were to be divided into different pools, Loew would be willing, but Meowth and the others wouldn't, so they all ended up in the mixed pool.

I don’t know if Asha booked the whole place in advance, but there were only a few people, including Luo Wei, at the hot spring tonight. But that’s fine, since they’re all familiar faces, there’s nothing to be shy about.

Luo Wei walked confidently to the edge of the pool and comfortably soaked his calves in the hot spring. The steaming hot spring water enveloped his legs, and he instantly felt relaxed.

Then he heard a "plop" sound, and Masked Cat lightly jumped into the hot spring. Normally, this big cat doesn't like water very much because it's troublesome to clean its fur when it gets wet.

However, since the foot bath only reached her calves when she was sitting, she could naturally feel safe going into the water and having fun.

After all, he's a big cat by nature, so he's bound to be mischievous. Therefore, Luo Wei didn't mind. The hot spring was quite large, and there were only a few of them there, so it didn't matter if they disturbed others.

Gardevoir, on the other hand, behaved much more like a lady. She was always well-behaved next to Loewon, sitting gracefully next to him. Her small feet, hidden under the wide hem of her skirt, were placed in the hot spring. Her profile, bathed in moonlight, looked truly elegant and charming.

As for Sylveon, the little one only lay on Lowell's lap and didn't go into the water because of its size. However, Lowell still reached out and gently massaged its body to relax it.

However, after kneading for a while, Luo Wei heard a splashing sound of water. When he looked up, he saw Masked Cat walking over in the water, looking at Luo Wei with anticipation.

"Ah? Okay, I understand~"

Luo Wei immediately understood, and patted the person next to him, "You've been fighting all this time, it must have been tough. Come on, relax and enjoy yourself today, my princess. See if my cooking skills have gotten worse~"

Masked Cat lay down comfortably, while Luo Wei placed his palm on her waist and applied slight pressure with his thumb.

With just that one movement, the big cat trembled violently and let out a comfortable groan. She hadn't had Rowe massage her body for a while, and this moment she relaxed completely.

Rowe also perked up, his fingers working incessantly, relaxing Masked Cat's body from top to bottom. Perhaps he was too focused, for he didn't even notice that Lillie and Aysa had somehow appeared beside him, watching his actions with great interest...

Chapter 151 Cats are liquid (Confirmed)

"Eh?"

When Luo Wei looked up, he saw that Lillie and Aysa seemed to be watching his actions with great interest. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and spoke.

"……What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I was just a little curious. Has Luo Wei studied massage?"

"Haha, our old man used to run a dojo, uh, he still runs a dojo for now..."

Although Senri became a gym leader, his main daily work was still running dojos. After all, running dojos was for training trainers, and running gyms seemed to have a similar purpose. So, his gyms were essentially the same as his old dojos in most cases.

Before and after daily training at the dojo, it is essential to perform appropriate muscle relaxation and warm-up exercises. Otherwise, blindly exercising will only lead to injury and ultimately have the opposite effect.

As the biological son, Luo Wei grew up in his father's dojo and is, in terms of seniority, his father's "personal disciple." The trainers currently training in the dojo are his junior brothers and sisters.

In short, Luo Wei's current physique is largely due to his training at his own dojo. He also practiced karate, combat sports, and Sanda for a while. Later, he met Fujiki and learned a lot about these areas from him.

As a result, he has developed a complete set of relaxation massage techniques, ranging from heavy to light...

...After all, Pokémon's physical abilities are incomparable to those of humans. Although the physical abilities of humans in the Pokémon world are also insane, they are still far inferior to Pokémon that can swim the butterfly stroke while catching meteors and lava.

Therefore, the massage technique for Pokémon must be strong. Don't be fooled by how Lowe seems to be massaging Masked Meowth. The same amount of force applied to a human would be enough to make a burly man weighing 100-200 pounds cry for help.

However, when it comes to Pokémon, it might really just be "just right." Meowth could only let out soft humming sounds as it lay there, as if its entire body had completely relaxed under Rowe's palm.

She was already so soft that she seemed to have no bones. At this moment, she was just like the embodiment of the conclusion that "cats are liquid". She let Luo Wei knead and roll her up as he pleased, and her whole body was like soft flesh without any tendons or bones.

It's truly unimaginable that this seemingly soft, weak, and harmless little ball of flesh and big, fleshy legs could probably slap through a steel plate when it gets angry. You really can't reason with Pokémon.

Not only did Masked Cat enjoy it, but Loew also enjoyed the process of getting up close and personal with his Pokémon.

He wasn't quite used to it at first, since the kitten had turned into a young girl's body, but now he's completely used to it and doesn't feel awkward handling it. In fact, he finds it quite novel.

That furry, fleshy texture is a unique feeling that neither humans nor ordinary cats can provide; only Pokémon can satisfy it. Apart from Pokémon, where else can you find such a large, furry, humanoid creature?

More importantly, most big, furry cats don't actually smell very good, their fur isn't soft, and it's a hard, solid thing with firm, muscular lines when you pet it.

Luo Wei personally admires those muscular, strong bodies, but he only wishes that body could be on his own. He would rather refuse to actually touch and masturbate. It's definitely more comfortable to masturbate a soft, fluffy, and fragrant large human-shaped body pillow!

Because it's usually easier to move around, it's impossible to carry such a big cat around. Although there's no problem in terms of weight, since the big cat is incredibly light, with the physique of a young girl and the weight of a little girl.

However, given the size of the object, physical area collision is still quite troublesome; there's no such thing as clipping in the real world...

So, in normal times, as a second choice, Luo Wei would directly pet Eevee. Of course, originally it was Luo Wei who petted Eevee, but since Eevee evolved into Sylveon, it has gained those ribbon-like tentacles, so now they can pet each other.

Although it may sound like some strange behavior, this is indeed a harmonious and loving daily life between Pokémon and their trainers, and it's very wholesome!

As for Gardevoir, although there is indeed not much physical contact, Gardevoir's situation is rather special. Compared to physical contact, she prefers mental perception.

Even when she was still Ralts, she was used to communicating with Rowe through telepathy. This race itself likes to use telepathy to silently feel the bond and feelings between trainers.

After evolving, Gardevoir's psychic powers and telepathic abilities are stronger. Now, Gardevoir can sense the unspoken understanding between itself and Loewon anytime, anywhere through telepathy.

This feeling of being loved at all times is the happiness that Gardevoir seeks. It doesn't need words or overly dramatic actions. Compared to physical contact, spiritual unity brings her more joy.

Therefore, as long as you stay by Lowe's side, you can feel the joy of being surrounded by love, and whether or not you have to compete with Meowth and Sylveon for more physical contact becomes unimportant.

She possesses a queen-like composure...

"To be honest, it makes me envious..."

Lillie's tone was genuinely envious, and Rowe couldn't help but ask a question.

"You need to make this clear: which side are you envious of? If you're envious of me, then there's nothing I can do. I admit our children are just that adorable, but I'm sorry, only I can truly love them!"

This statement was obviously made as a joke in this context, but the meaning it conveyed was certainly serious.

However, this is not a problem. Pokémon have very different personalities, but most Pokémon that are close to humans are very fond of their trainers.

Ninetales cherishes its tail and will curse anyone who touches it carelessly, but its trainer can pet it as much as they want. The flames on Rapidash will burn any creature that tries to get close, but will never hurt its trainer.

Alcremie can secrete fresh cream from her body and will give berries decorated with fresh cream to her beloved trainer. The better the relationship with the trainer, the sweeter the cream will taste.

There are countless similar examples, and there are even many Pokémon that are not friendly to humans and have bad tempers, yet they are obedient to their trainers.

"Haha, so that's not it, I just envy Masked Cat and the others..."

The moment those words were spoken, the nature of the situation changed drastically. The masked cat, who had just been lying down, immediately jumped up with its ears perked up. Unlike Gardevoir, who was used to sensing love silently through telepathy, she was a true action-taker.

With a splash of water, the big cat, moving at a speed no one could keep up with, quickly and firmly clung to Rowe, asserting its dominance in the most straightforward way...

"...Okay, it turned out like this."

Chapter 152 This guest cannot leave until the service is completed.

So, it was a misunderstanding.

Lillie clearly understood the ambiguity in his words and immediately offered a straightforward explanation, "I just think Rowe's massage looks really comfortable, so I'm a little envious~"

"Oh, is that so? Did you hear that? Let go now, this is a hot spring, it's so hot here!"

Luo Wei reached out and patted Masked Cat's head, and the latter reluctantly let go.

But as Luo Wei said, this is a hot spring, and the surrounding temperature is already high. You, a fluffy little thing, rushing up here, really don't consider your size and all that fur on your body at all!

Although Lowe really liked the feel of the fur, being covered in it was one thing, but it was quite warm when it was cold, but in this weather it was just unbearable.

However, it's a different story when you hug it as a pillow in an air-conditioned room. The faint floral scent on the masked cat has a good calming effect and can also repel mosquitoes, making it a pretty perfect pillow.

Especially since you can squeeze and play with that fleshy ball, it's quite stress-relieving.
